HELP! What’s wrong with my tree 🌳??

Scroll down to see more content

I need your help!! My laburnum tree seems to have some pests eating the trunk. I don’t know What pest it could be, or how to treat it. Would anyone out there know?

It seems to be the right side that is most affected. There is fine dust in a now hollowed-out section going from the base of the trunk almost halfway up.

I would really like to save it if possible. It provides much-needed shade for the kids to play in the garden during summer. It also looks great when in bloom.

At the end of last year we had our Apple tree trimmed as it was long overdue. So this summer, there is hardly any shade from it.

Little Learning Garden

Nine years ago I moved into my old home and inherited the responsibility of caring for a garden that the previous owners clearly loved very much. It was a daunting undertaking! It wasn't long before I looked forward to getting outdoors and getting my hands (and boots!) dirty- so much so that my husband would have to repeatedly 'remind me of the time' during my 2 pregnancies. My young sons have since taken over that 'job'! Having recently moved house and inherited a bigger garden, I now have the challenge of transforming what was the pet dog's paradise (!) into something that we can all enjoy as a family. I'm a complete amateur. This blog is all about taking my journey of learning to another level and a place for me to record the year's gardening events. In the past I've simply taken Loads of photos and mentally taken note of things that have and haven't worked. I hope you will join me on this journey of learning, I look forward to your comments, suggestions and even questions. Kind regards Nisha

  1. It’s not woodworm is it? That’s a total guess but I know Laburnums are susceptible to it. Whatever it is, be careful it doesn’t migrate to your house!
